Chapter 603
“Liv?”
Olivia’s head felt heavy She could hear that someone was calling her, but she could not wake up
Darkness surrounded her, and she sank deeper and deeper into the darkness as if it would swallow her…
Zac looked at the unconscious Olivia, reached out to touch her forehead, and was immediately startled.
It was a fever!
Zac wondered why a fever had struck her.
Was it because of the whip or the environment?
She had lung cancer. Even before the excision, the doctor had warned them to not take it lightly. They should be especially careful of fevers.
Zac quickly wet a towel and applied it to her forehead.
It would be best if her fever subsided. If it did not…
He was caught in a dilemma.
He just promised Olivia he would not become Jimmy, but he had to make a choice now because he promised her he would ensure her safety.
Thus, he figured he would just agree to Jimmy’s suggestion now and work out the rest later.
Moreover, destroying the Jameson family would help Olivia get her revenge.
Once he convinced himself of that, he felt it was easier to accept the facts.
However, when he got up to knock on the door and look for Jimmy, something grabbed him.
Looking over his shoulder, he saw Olivia’s pale lips move. Her voice was soft and tiny, and it sounded as if she was struggling to say, “Don’t… go…”
Had she lost her mind?
He tried to pry her hand away, but somehow, though she was weak, she held his hand with great strength.
“Zac don’t go
He frowned and felt sorry for her. He did not know what to choose anymore.
After struggling, he decided to stay.
He sat on the edge of the bed and kept switching out the towel he was using to cool down her fever
There were no clocks or windows in the basement, so he had no idea what time it was.
However, Olivia’s fever did not go down.
